SANFORD - A 250-pound black bear that spent the night in Cornelius B. Franklin's back yard left the neighborhood Sunday morning and was seen heading toward a wooded area a few blocks away.

Franklin, of 1014 Pecan Ave. in Sanford, caught his last glimpse of the bear about 2 a.m. Sunday. A neighbor told him later that the bear was seen walking to Coast Line Park, a wooded area east of Franklin's neighborhood.
